Alien All-stars Challenge

MemberPraetorianNov-02-2019 11:50 PMAliens All-star Challenge:
Following the events of Alien Covenant Weyland-Yutani received a priority transmission from the USCSS Covenant claiming to be David on route to Origae-6.
In response, Weyland Yutani has green-lit a rapid deployment expedition. The group is equipped with a prototype FTL ‘Jump-ship’ that will reach Origae-6 BEFORE the Covenant arrives, as W-Y want to investigate what is on that planet.
Absolutely nothing is known about what the team will expect to find on this planet.
Your challenge is to put together the expedition team that will form the core of the team, based on your own perceptions of what will be expected and needed on planet. You can consider a mix of Military, Scientific, Exploration/Terraformers, Medical, Engineering and Leadership. Or you can go all-in guns blazing, the choice is yours but there are some rules.
RULES:
- You must pick one character from each Alien film (Alien, Aliens, Alien3, Alien: Resurrection, Prometheus & Alien Covenant)
- You must designate one character as the Expedition Leader and state the primary objective of the mission.
- Each character must be designated a position on the crew.
- You must have at least one Character that can fly a drop-ship from orbit to the planet.
- You can only have ONE Ellen Ripley – you must state from which of the films you choose and why. But having Ripley is not mandatory.
- Timeline and status of characters are not an issue. ALL characters in the Alienverse are available for selection, whether they are alive or dead.
Good Luck!

MemberPraetorianNov-03-2019 12:06 AMI've gone with the Weyland-Yutani evil ALL-STARs.
Led by Vickers, who is on a revenge mission hell-bent on restoring Peter's legacy and taking down David. After leaping sideways at the last second she survived the rolling Juggernaut and made it back to Earth. With experience on her side she was chosen to lead the Origae-6 mission. Her team's mission is to establish a foothold on the planet and lie in wait to assassinate David, recover the Covenant and secure the Xenomorph specimen.
Her team packs muscle, brains and tenacity - Problem-solvers that aren't afraid to bend the rules, or look the other way to get the job done, even if it might be a tad...evil.
Although an interesting clash of personalities that would probably fall apart before they even left the dropship, if they managed to pull their sh#t together they could be a serious badass team!

MemberPraetorianNov-03-2019 12:08 AMNice one Xenotaris!
I wanted to go an evil roster too, but didnt have the conviction to see it through, so well done sir!

MemberTrilobiteNov-03-2019 12:10 AMThis will take a little time and thought. Is this going to be a stand up fight or just another bug hunt?
Xenotaris
MemberPraetorianNov-03-2019 12:12 AMYeah I was going to go with a heroic roster but then I was like "Hey lets let the bad guys get what they want, Xenomorphs!"

MemberChestbursterNov-03-2019 1:55 AMWow, Tennessee as a pilot? You really like to take risks!
Kongzilla
MemberChestbursterNov-03-2019 1:26 AMTeam leader - Dillon
Pilot - Janek
Security - Daniels
Science officer - Bishop
Legal - Call
Engineering - Parker
The official purpose of the mission - go on Origae-6 and help to Covenant crew.
The hidden purpose of the mission - explore a strange tachyon track, that suddenly appeared near the Origae-6 and clearly has an extraterrestrial origin.

MemberFacehuggerNov-03-2019 1:32 AMMy team is the worst team lmao.

MemberTrilobiteNov-03-2019 6:27 AMAlien- Parker- mechanical/engineering
Aliens- Hicks- security
Alien 3- Bishop
Resurrection- Ripley 8 {she has xeno reflexes, strength, senses etc and is promised she would only be a "consultant" :)}
Prometheus- Dr. Ford- health/medical
Covenant- Walter- science/environmental/hydroponics and fauna expert, navigation direction with MUTHUR link and over all leader.
The team's objective is to find out what happened to the Covenant. There is suspicion of foul play and a general mistrust of WY.
All experts have their own separate teams.
Walter can link Bishop's knowlege and experiences with MUTHUR and himself.

MemberChestbursterNov-03-2019 7:06 AMWell this though, but because we talk about WY my team would be:
Alien: Jonnesy as the infiltration specialist and because of Xenomorph immunity.
Aliens: Ferro as a pilot, because usually they are cool and if they raced for Porsche.
Alien cubed: Clemens because he will be reincarnated as Tywin Lannister. Position who cares.
Alien Resurrection: Vriess on the position of bad-ass. How would he be on a WY mission is unimportant as it was bought out by Walmart decades before Resurrection. For some reason he reminds of Tyrion :P
Prometheus: A wise-cracking Engineer in big red suit as the leader. We could call him Engineerpool. The choise here was particularly difficult as on the ship there was a certain security guy who would become the Night King and resurrecting your dudes is tight.
AC: T as the back-up pilot and to think that Ferro is his wife. How would he be sent to intercept the Covenant when he is on it is not important.

MemberDeaconNov-03-2019 7:47 PMI am going to be a bit Awkward here as i know this is just for Fun... but i guess i have to keep with the SYNOPSIS
"Following the events of Alien Covenant Weyland-Yutani received a priority transmission from the USCSS Covenant claiming to be David on route to Origae-6."
Right so we take it this is SET after Alien Covenant so for me i will RULE-OUT the Covenant Crew!
Its a case of do they send in a Ship where the Crew know about the Advent... or do they send in a bunch of Fall Guys?
I am going to ASSUME that ALIEN and on-wards have NOT happened at this point.... and the Covenant is DUE to Origae-6 as intended and thus will arrive in the Year 2112.
But to NOT spoil the FUN i think from here its assemble a Team of ONE per Movie and to assume these Selected Crew Members are at the AGE they were in the Movies they appeared in... but at this AGE in the year 2108-2110
So here we go...
Alien) I would go with Parker as a Engineer (not the Bald 8ft Kind) Kane as (Medical/Science Officer), Ash (Corporate Representative)
Aliens). I would go with Ferro (Pilot), Sergeant Apone, (Military Team Leader), Corporal Hicks (Military Team 3rd in Command), Private Frost, Vasquez (Military Team) Burke (WY Representative)
Alien 3). Clemens (Medical), Andrews (Ship Vice Captain), Dillon (Military Team), Morse (Ships Admin), Gillas (Science Assistant), Dr Matshuita (Science Surgeon)
Alien Resurrection). Elgyn (Pilot/Captain), Hillard (Pilot) Dr. Wren (Science Team Leader), Dr. Gediman (Biologist), Dr. Williamson (Science Team), Johner (Military Team 2nd Command), Vriess (Mechanic) Christie (General Ship Assistant), Distephano (Military Team)
Prometheus). David (as in his AI uploaded to Walter at some point).
Alien Covenant). Walter as they would take a Synthetic
Likely have a FEW more members of Crew such as 1-2 more Scientist and additional Medical Team Member
The Mission would be to arrive in Hiding Near by Orogae-6 and wait for the Covenant to Arrive and begin to Carry Out what ever David would intend next.
They would attempt to place some Crew on the Covenant while David is on the Surface and then send another Team down to Capture David....
Scientific Curiosity, Corporate Greed and a David Doppelganger would lead to PROBLEMS for the Crew.

Pilot - My favorite pilot is Captain Janek but he put the needs of the few above the company needs. Tennessee might do the same. Bishop is the pilot.
Leader - David 8 (Alien: Covenant)

MemberTrilobiteNov-07-2019 10:48 PMIngeniero was kidding but made a good point about Walter. Information and situations can change on a planet. Things may not be as hospitable for humans by the time they arrive. It might be a good idea to send Bishop, Call and Walter as the over all leaders and together could carry out navigation, exploration, recon and such with a human crew with different levels of expertise. They would be in hyper sleep pending the synths' navigation and assessment of the planet and situation to ensure their safety to carry out the mission. If it is ok, the crew would be awakened. If not, they could return home. I would not include Ash or David since they are basically corrupt in their own ways and may not hold the humans' safety as a priority due to Special Orders.
